According to the blurb, you’ll see visible results in just two weeks so long as you’re combining it with a healthy diet and an equally healthy dose of exercise (hey no pain, no gain!). You can use it on thighs, belly, buttocks, hips or upper arms.

After treatment, it’s recommended that you slap on your usual slimming or contouring cream as skin will be more receptive, and take 20-30 minutes of light exercise, to help your lymphatic system drain and flush out toxins.

So what’s the damage? Considering liposuction costs a good few thousand, this is much cheaper at £999.99. Plus, you avoid the downtime and risks associated with surgery.
